Ways of Separating Mixtures

Filtration and decantation. Filtration will be used to separate the sand from the salt solution by passing the mixture through a filter paper. The sand will be trapped in the filter paper as the residue while the salt solution will pass through as the filtrate. Decantation can then be used to separate the salt from the water by pouring off the clear salt solution, leaving the salt behind in the original container.

WAYS OF SEPARATING

MIXTURES
Directions: Describe how will you separate these
mixtures.

1. Salt solution
2. Sand + iron filings
3. Oil + water
4. Ash and water
5. Gravel and sand
Mixtures can be separated by physical means…
1.

Filtration – the process of


separating mixtures through a
filter paper.

Residue - the insoluble solid that


remains on the filter paper.

Filtrate – the liquid that passes


through the filter paper.
2. Evaporation – is a process in which a liquid
changes into gaseous form on heating allowing
the liquid to evaporate leaving the soluble solid
behind.
3. Distillation – the process of separating the
components of a mixture through vaporization.
- The liquid with the lowest boiling point
vaporizes first, followed by the liquid with the
next higher boiling point.
Distillate – the liquid collected in the receiver
flask.
4. Decantation – the process of obtaining clear
liquid by pouring a solution from a container in
order to leave the sediments in the bottom of the
original container.

Decantate – solid particles that settle at the


bottom of the container.
5. Magnetization – is a process in which
magnetically susceptible material is extracted
from a mixture using a magnetic force.

6. Centrifugation – is a widely used method of


separating mixtures according to the different
densities of the components.
 Spin sample very rapidly: denser materials go
to the bottom (outside)
 Separate blood into serum and plasma
-Plasma- less dense
- liquid part of the blood
-Erythrocytes – red blood cells
7. Chromatography – allows separation of
different pigment colors
Other Methods of Separating Mixtures

1. Winnowing – the mixture is allowed to fall from


a height. The lighten components get separated
from the heavier ones because of wind or air
blow.
2. Sifting or Sieving – is used to separate dry
mixture which contains substances of different
sizes by passing it through a sieve.
3. Straining – pour mainly liquid substance
through a porous device or material in order to
separate out any solid material.
4. Threshing- is the method that generally used
by the farmers to separate the grains from the
stalks after harvesting.
-The dried stalks are beaten or threshed to
separate the grains.
-In large farms threshing is done by using
threshing machines.
5. Hand Picking – the components of a solid-
solid mixture/
- Only useful when the particles are large
enough to be seen clearly.
